[Build-common-hackers] Bug#414305: cdbs: Call of 'ant clean' happens _after_ patch removal

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.48
Severity: normal


Hi,

the ant class is built in such a way that 'ant clean' (or whatever the
clean target actually is) is called after the patches are unapplied,
leading to the issue that ant clean fails (I have to patch quite heavily
the build.xml to make it work _at all_ under Debian).
Looking through ./class/makefile.mk, I see that the call to 'make -k
clean' is put before the actual clean: target; I truly think that it
should be the same way for ant.

The workaround is to have something like the following in debian/rules:

	clean:: buildxml-clean

	include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
	include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/ant.mk
	include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk

	[...]

	buildxml-clean::
		-$(DEB_ANT_INVOKE) $(DEB_ANT_CLEAN_TARGET)

Thanks, Eric
